[edit] Football

Wrote a very basic introduction article. Feel free to add and edit to make the flow better. General125 04:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Can we have paragraphs for other era's of TCU Football. I am really only familiar with the most recient era. General125 04:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AP Top 25

There has to be a better way to do this table and reference the AP Top 25 General125 17:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] separate article

Do we want a separate article for Football? General125 05:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I think we should wait on that a little bit. In all likelihood I think we end up doing that, but I think at the present time it'd be best to keep everything on one page. Once we get this article more than bare bones for the other sports (Or absolutely nothing on a lot of them), then we can look and see what needs to be separated out to its own page. I've added a bit on the Soccer and Rifle programs. If everyone could just pick a sport with nothing on it and look at the media guide for that sport and do a quick write up, we'd be well on our way.

I agree, I'm trying to concentrate on the other sports now anyways. From what I've seen from other schools, they have a hard time with their athletics pages, much less their own football page General125 05:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I think just a brief history on the olympic sports is all that's needed. We'll likely have Football, Men's & Women's Basketball, and Baseball as our longest sections. The rest of the sports, if we can get a paragraph with the basics of where the team plays, who the coach is, state of the program, and any other basics like All-Conference, All-American, conference championships on there, I think that'll be more than adequate. Most of that info seems to be available in the media guides from the sports which mostly seem to be up for each of the sports. Rangers85 23:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I've made a seperate article for the football team General125 02:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball

Need help referencing. I used the 2006 media guide for much of my text. General125 05:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pre-Game

I deleted the pregame section because it had no references and was fiction General125 17:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

A decade ago a tradition that has grown and is a must see is the "Candlelit Friday Night Before the Game Bloodletting" ceremony. The student body and fans dress in hooded black robes, the Most High Priest performs an animal sacrifice(usually a goat, but has been other animals if they are more readily available) and all walk by dipping their fingers in the blood and smear it on their cheeks. It is said to insure victory. Some claim it is the ritual responsible for the Horned Frogs gridiron success over the last ten years.

[edit] Source Material

Media Guides -- The media guides for the olympic sports would be a good starting place for material. I believe most of them are online too. General125 17:26, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

Championships -- I'm having a reference kind of day. I'm still new to writing the wiki code. I don't think my reference to the MWC Championship looks very clean. Is there a better way to format that code? General125 17:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
AP Poll -- Can we find a reference link to our AP poll rankings? The AP page on wikipedia is pretty weak. We need an external link to backup our rankings. General125 16:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kudos

This article is shaping up nicely. Please keep up the good work. I'll try to lend a hand if I have a bit of time and if I'm needed. Johntex\talk 20:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Johntex, I've been real busy, but once I get another block of time, I'll really get on it. Then we'll make a seperate football section. General125 03:26, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Men's Basketball

I can't bring myself to do Men's Basketball right. I'm counting on someone else to do it. I'll tackle tennis and cross country. Then I want to start on a seperate TCU Football page. General125 04:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Women's Basketball

I'm having a tough time finding out which years the Lady Frogs won a conference title in the regular season, the conference tournament or both. I've found the data from the SWC years, and I remember when they won the tournaments in 2002-03 and 2004-05. I know they didn't win the regular season title in 2002-03, and didn't win either crown in 2003-04 or 2005-06, but I can't remember about the regular season in 2004-05 or anything before 2002-03. Can anyone help me? Also, I'm working on getting all the NCAA tournament appearance information into a table. jadailyTCU 02:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I found the lady's info in the 2005-06 media guide 2005-06 Tournament History General125 20:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proofreading

As of 19 January 2007, I have proofread the initial blurb, the football section, the baseball section and the women's basketball blurb. If anyone makes further changes to these, please let me know! jadailyTCU 02:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
